Incident in London – Update

Our thoughts and sympathies are with those affected by the attack at Westminster yesterday.

According to the police there is no specific threat to any particular locations, or areas, in Liverpool or London at this time.

As always we would urge all our students and staff, wherever they may be, to be vigilant.

In relation to terror related incidents the advice from the police is that if you suspect it, report it. Nobody is better placed to detect something that is out of place in their communities than the people living in them. If you do see any suspicious activity, you should call the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321 or call police on 101. In an emergency always call 999.

Both Merseyside Police and London’s Metropolitan Police Service regularly send out up-to-date information during emergency incidents via text. To receive these notifications please sign up to either @MerseyPolice or @MetPoliceUK Twitter alerts depending on your location.

The emergency response to the incident has resulted in the London transport network being disrupted. For up-to-date travel advice please visit the Transport for London website (https://tfl.gov.uk/) or call 0343 222 1234* (option 6).
